# Snowflake Cortex Code

> Snowflake's plugin that hands your Snowflake requests to Cortex Code, which runs them on your account with its built-in Snowflake skills.

Snowflake's own plugin for coding agents. It spots when a request is about Snowflake and hands it to Cortex Code, Snowflake's agent for data work, which runs it against your account with its built-in Snowflake skills. Everything else stays with your current agent.

What you can do with it
- Ask about your Snowflake account in plain words: warehouses, databases, schemas and tables
- Hand off Snowflake work such as data quality checks, dynamic tables, governance policies, Cortex Search and ML
- Type $cortex-run before a request to send it straight to Cortex Code
- Follow up on an answer, and Cortex Code carries on in the same session

How it works
- A light keyword filter checks each prompt. Snowflake requests load its routing skill and go to the Cortex Code CLI
- A setup skill installs the Snowflake CLI and the Cortex Code CLI when they're missing
- Each run gets a security envelope: read-only, read-write, research (reads plus the web) or deploy (full access)
- It scrubs personal data from prompts, blocks paths to credentials and can keep an audit log

How to install it
In Claude Code it's in Anthropic's official marketplace: claude plugin install snowflake-cortex-code@claude-plugins-official. In Codex, add Snowflake's marketplace with codex plugin marketplace add Snowflake-Labs/snowflake-ai-kit, then run codex plugin add snowflake-cortex-code@snowflake-ai-kit.

Good to know
It needs the Cortex Code CLI (cortex) on your PATH and a Snowflake connection, which you add with snow connection add. Its setup skill asks you to remove any Snowflake MCP server from Claude Code's settings first. Snowflake bills Cortex Code use, and its docs now call Cortex Code "CoCo".
